December was a pretty good reading month for me. I had the motivation of needing to finish my Goodreads goal to push me to read more. I ended up exceeding my Goodreads goal by 2! In total this year I read 82 books! Next year I plan on going for the big 100.

In the month of December I read 10 young adult books. Checkout below to see what books I read and the rating I gave them.

Seventeen-year-old Twylla lives in the castle. But although she’s engaged to the prince, Twylla isn’t exactly a member of the court.

She’s the executioner.

As the Goddess embodied, Twylla instantly kills anyone she touches. Each month she’s taken to the prison and forced to lay her hands on those accused of treason. No one will ever love a girl with murder in her veins. Even the prince, whose royal blood supposedly makes him immune to Twylla’s fatal touch, avoids her company.

But then a new guard arrives, a boy whose easy smile belies his deadly swordsmanship. And unlike the others, he’s able to look past Twylla’s executioner robes and see the girl, not the Goddess. Yet Twylla’s been promised to the prince, and knows what happens to people who cross the queen.

However, a treasonous secret is the least of Twylla’s problems. The queen has a plan to destroy her enemies, a plan that requires a stomach-churning, unthinkable sacrifice. Will Twylla do what it takes to protect her kingdom? Or will she abandon her duty in favor of a doomed love?

2014 was an exceptional year of books! It was full of outstanding debuts and new series and highly anticipated sequels and favorite authors. I surprised myself by falling in love with multiple fantasy books and of course read my fair share of contemporary. It was hard to narrow it down to my top 14 but all of these books deserve it and are must reads. Thank you 2014 and I can't wait to see what 2015 brings!
